ChopChop Gets Kids in the Kitchen

Once in a while, or should I say every day, someone comes up with an idea that I wish I had developed, and ChopChop is just such an idea. This quarterly family cooking magazine was founded with one simple mission: To inspire kids and their families to get into the kitchen and cook. Working with an esteemed panel of pediatricians and nutritionists, founder Sally Sampson created a non-profit that celebrates and empowers kids to make healthy tasty treats like roasted chickpeas, kale chips (a dish that was on the menu at our own Kids' State Dinner with the First Lady), roast chicken, and a salmon Caesar salad. And speaking of Michelle Obama, ChopChop is running the American Grown Recipe Challenge, and the prize is an autographed copy of the First Lady's book, American Grown The Story of the White House Kitchen Garden and Gardens Across America. Kids have until this Friday night to send in an original recipe using produce they grew or got from a local garden.

For every paid subscription to ChopChop (only $14.95), the organization is then able to give away some free issues to kids in need, so order one today--it's a win/win for everyone.
